Governor Lee on Virginia Politics.

l then frankly told the Governor that
as the Republican leaders were encour-
aged to hope that they could take Vir-
ginia from the Democratic column, his
views as to the State would be of interest
and value.
"l don't care to be quoted" he said,
but what do you desire specially to
know?"
"Wen, said, "tell me about Malone.
viii he be as powerful in the politics of
your State as he once was?"
The Governor, after some hesitation,
said: "Mahone is n very good politician.
In the campaign we will have this fall q
Legislature is to be chosen which will
elect Il United States Senator to succeed
Riddleberger. l have no doubt in my
own mind but that Malone is candi-
date for the Senatorship. If, however,
he let's TINT DC known he will not have
the influence in the campaign he other
wise might. You see, there are three
factions i'll the Republican party. One
is the straight-outs, led by Wickham;
another led by Ex-Governor Cameron,
who is opposed to Malone, and then
those who call themselves the Readius-
tcrS. Now, i'll canvass simply as

SLEEPING soR WEEKS.
A Young Lady Who Takes Very Long
Maps at Short Intervals.

The remarkable case of Miss Jennie
Thomas of Oakland, Cal, attracts the
attention of physicians. Four months
ago she fell asleep, or rather lapsed
into cataleptic trance, and did not
awake for five weeks, except at long
intervals, when she was conscious for
only a few minutes at time. Once
when she awoke her mother hurried to
get her some food. She had time to
make cup of tea and a slice of toast.
Her daughter had the toast in her
hand raising it to her mouth, when she
sank back into trance, crushing the
bread in her rigid fingers. AT the end
of the five weeks she awoke, with an
acute pain at the base of the brain,
but her faculties were in no respect
impaired, and her general health ap.
peared good, except for the symptoms
stated. The San Francisco Chronicle
states that five weeks previous to that
date, she fell into another trance, which
had continued up to that time. Her
muscles are rigid, but her heart beats
and she breathes regularly. During
this latest trance her heart has been
shifted three times by muscular con-
traction to the right side, but this did
not appear to have affected her func-
tions. 1t is thought that she is hazily
conscious of her surroundings during
these frances, because when she awake
from the former one she had some
vague recollections of what had hap
pened by her bedside. 1t is believed by
her attending physician that these
cataleptic attacks are due 10 scarletinal
poisoning during her infancy. Miss
Thomas is now 10 years Of age, and
when she was IL years old she was
attacked by epileptic spasms, which
continued until these cataleptic symp-
toms appeared, but have been absent
since"

1t is not to q baby-millionaire / wish

what he is likely to cost, not only in

so many little triilcs bought for baby

Tiger Bill.

The circus season is over and num-
ber of people who have been on the
road are making their temporary head
quarters in this city. a few Of the
guild happened to assemble at John
Clancy's the other day, and enter
tanned each other with "reminiscences
of their summer work.
"When we were at Orlean," said
Tom Dolphin, who was with Pollman's
circus, 1--WE picked up gigantic lum-
herman named William Pike, who had
never been further west than Michi-
)gan. We proceeded to bill him as
Tiger Bill,' noted scout and re-
formed desperate. He was IN awfully
big fellow but as tender as chicken,
and wouldn't dare to shoot Il cat At
Johnstown we got five or six tame
indians and painted them up to Kill
Then we started q wild West show u
top OIL the performance. Tiger Bill
was announced as the DeSt shot, and,
altogether the most remarkable cow
boy of the age. He would come into
the ring, sniff, cry, ha, smell Injuns,'
and then stalk stealthily along until he
discovered them lying in ambush,
when he would blaze away and kill
all but one or two, whom he would
finish with knife. The audience was
assured that he obtained his name from
the fact that he once killed three tigers
on the plains with one shot. He loved
to impress people with the notion that
he was very tough cuss. Every hotel
we'd 60 to he'd say to the waitress In n
deep voice which you could hear all
over the room:
"Bring two pounds of raw beef and
q pint of blood
"The girl would reply that she
couldn't get the blood, and he would
resignedly ask for milk instead. The
raw beef he ate right along. / don't
think he liked it, but he worried it
down in good style, After while, in
addition to his wild West show act, we
got him to do feats of craftsmanship.
He would knock the pipe out of the
mouth of the man smoking it or brush
the ashes off a cigar with his trusty
revolver. The weapon was loaded with
blank cartridges, and the moment he
fired the other man would bite the
pipestem in two or bite the cigar SO
suddenly that the ashes would tumble
off. One night when Tiger Bill had
inspired the audience moro than usual
with sense of his ferocity, he essayed
to shoot the ash off q cigar in the
mouth of one of our boys, who, for the
fun of the thing, wouldn't disturb the
ash, but kept smoking the cigar as cool
as before. Tiger Bill fired four or five
unsuccessful shots, and then the audi
ence began to laugh and hiss, and he
ran in rage"
